I know only TOO WELL exactly what you are saying....I have about well...all my coworkers who are that way! It felt wonderful giving my two week notice in knowing that soon they will be in a crunch and hating life....oopps did I say that!

WOOHOO! I'm glad you are getting out of a snippy place. It sucks the life right out of you doesn't it?

Deelady, I started this thread way back when because I frequently need to just get it off my chest. Thankfully, there is always someone here to listen.

And as for the bully, well, yes I have said my piece. I've tried to be awfully polite about it too. I really want to say some rude and nasty things, but have decided that would just make ME look bad so I'll stick with what I've said and continue on my merry way.

Honestly though, it really does get me bent out of shape to have folks treat me (and everyone really) like we ought to be kneeling at the feet of greatness.

Thanks for letting me get that little bit of snottiness out of my system. I'm done now.

People who have to "bullfrog" about themselves (well another word does come to mind) are insecure..........."Desiderata" by Kahlil Gibran comes to mind "There will always be people lesser than you and greater than you" I bet they don't have many friends either which is more important, you can take your "accomplishments" to the grave and they'll soon be forgotten but friends and family will keep your memories alive long after you're gone whether you are "lesser" or "greater" than them

Yes it sure does!! I didn't want to be a stay at home mom, didn't feel it was for me....but man, now it sounds lovely!! Only female I want to get attitude from is a little short stuff one whom I can tell her to go sit in her chair until she is ready to be nice!!

Well goodness knows, cj, yours was the first name that came to mind when Alix mentioned being bullied! You silly, sweet, wonderful woman! As Alix said, you have never hurt anyone! You are one of the truly nicest people I have ever known.

I'm glad you shared your vent with us Alix. We are here to listen. I hope everything is settled now.

From me

Thank you so much everyone for your wishes and caring. You don't know how good it was knowing I had such a wonderful support team at DC waiting for me. Thanks Kades for passing on DH's message and sorry it took so long. I was on IV antibiotics for 8 days and then my doctor admitted me to one hospital (1/2 hour from home) to have surgery to clean out the joint and make sure everything was okay. That was last Monday. After two days of waiting he had me transferred to the original hospital where I had the surgery done on Tuesday night and I was operated on Wednesday afternoon. I was back on heavy anti-biotics until this morning. They also had to replace a plastic piece that fills in for my cartilege because the original one was 2mm too thick and was causing the excess pain and loss of mobility.

I just got home 1/2 hour ago and am going to rest as I am very tired, but glad it is all behind me. No more anti-biotics, no more blood thinner shots in my stomach and no more pain killers!
